OUR 2025-26 SEASON
DOOLEY AT THE BAR
September 12 – 28, 2025
by Alexander Kulcsar. At the height of the Gilded Age, America’s favorite news analyst was Mr. Dooley, a fictitious bartender created by Chicago journalist and humorist Finley Peter Dunne. At his hole-in-the-wall tavern on Archey Road, Mr. Dooley takes on robber barons, newspapers, political corruption, and a new century in this hilarious one-man show. Directed by Michael Stanley.
CONSCIENCE
November 14 – 30, 2025
by Joe DiPietro. Connecticut Premiere! In the 1950s, as Senator Joseph McCarthy lies and bullies his way to power, the only Republican senator with the courage to challenge him is Margaret Chase Smith of Maine. Conscience is the story of a remarkable woman who stood up for what was right and refused to back down. “A timely boxing match of a history play.” – NYTimes. Directed by Alexander Kulcsar.
LOOPED
February 5 – 22, 2026
by Matthew Lombardo. Looped is based on a 1965 recording session in which an intoxicated Tallulah Bankhead required eight hours to dub a single line from her final movie Die! Die! My Darling! while antagonizing the film editor assigned to the job. “Matthew Lombardo’s riveting new play is as funny as it gets in theatre! … A seductive, funny and frequently moving piece.” —The Hollywood Reporter. ““Hilarious!” —LA Weekly. Directed by Ruth Anne Baumgartner.
Samuel Beckett’s HAPPY DAYS, originally in this time slot, has been replaced for this season.
THE SAVANNAH SIPPING SOCIETY

by Thornton Wilder. In 19th Century New York, wealthy widower and merchant Horace Vandergelder hopes to marry the milliner Irene Molloy.
